Honey Beers recognized at the 2016 Great American Beer Festival

This year marked the 30th anniversary of the Great American Beer Festival (GABF), the largest commercial beer competition in the world.

The 2016 GABF awarded 286 medals to breweries across the United States in 96 categories, including Honey Beer. Out of 64 entries in the Honey Beer category, Jetty Cream Ale by Great South Bay Brewery took home the gold with Spring Fever by FiftyFifty Brewing Co. taking silver, and Belgian Honey Blonde Ale by No Clue Craft Brewery taking bronze.

Jetty Cream Ale, Great South Bay Brewery – Brewed in a non-traditional cream ale fashion, this beer is light in body but not in flavor! Jetty Cream Ale blends choice pilsner malt, noble German hops, flaked corn and orange blossom honey for a sweet touch.

Spring Fever by FiftyFifty Brewing Co. – Known as a FiftyFifty’s Brewmaster’s Special, Spring Fever is brewed with lemongrass, orange peel and honey for a refreshing, smooth beer.
